Continuing my "Critters In Winter" series, here's a beetle sauntering along the ice in February. Not exactly attractive, this one, but it attracted my attention. Who knew? And where was it going? And to do what? And why?
There's nothing to eat out there in February; there's no one to mate with. But there it was, activated by unseen forces, marching across a frozen wasteland like Sir John Franklin's crew after their ships went down in the Arctic in 1848.
As I recall, this was a cold day. I walked along the frozen Frenchman River, unconcerned about the ice cracking. It was a solid mass. I didn't last very long out there, and - I'm sure - neither did the beetle.

Don't miss the drowned building on the left ... usually people gather by the hundreds just in front of that building so they can share a picnic by the Seine.
Have nice day, my friends !

After a brief stop for lunch, we meet up with the SB CWR again at Spence where they duck under a wooden bridge. This is one of the last wooden bridges within a couple hundred kilometers of Toronto. CP 6080 & 6045 continue their trek down the Mactier sub.
Riding on some fast-moving water sports crafts is an exciting and thrilling experience. So, from early morning up and until late afternoon on Christmas Day, a number of guests at a popular beach resort, singly or in group, take a ride on jet skis and banana boats for an hour around a large area in Subic Bay designated by the resort's management as safe for such activities.

Continuing with my winter theme of posting dragonflies I've rarely if ever posted ...
For a few warmer years I was able to find & shoot this species as close as an hour-and-a-half drive SE of here in Georgia where they would perch with Halloween pennants. But apparently, colder winters have driven them back farther south. This male was at a lake along the Gulf coast of Florida, flying with species like Golden-winged, Needham's & Bar-winged skimmers. 4-spotted's are fairly common closer to the coast.

Continuing a hot summer tradition.....posting a series of refreshing cold snowy images for a week or so. Sweaters recommended while viewing....
Banff's Lake Louise with a snowy border. No swimmers this day.
Thanks for taking a look! Always appreciated.
Excerpt from www.goderich.ca/en/town-hall-and-services/resources/Herit...:
North Harbour Rd., Compass Minerals (formerly Sifto Salt) operates the largest rock salt mine in the world producing nine million tons yearly. Salt was discovered
accidently in 1866 by Samuel Platt while drilling for oil. For many years extraction involved evaporating salt from a brine solution brought to the surface and this process continues on the east side of town. In 1959, the first shaft was sunk here beginning underground extraction. The total length of roads under the lake bottom but within the salt layer is now greater than the length of all streets in Goderich.

I didn't know about Willigis Jäger until recently when I started practicing with a local meditation group; they've become friends while I went through a rather difficult time and the regular Sunday evening practice became something to cherish and look forward to. Too little I know about Willigis Jäger, but I feel he would agree with Rupert Spira who a few days ago recorded this small but profound message:
the prayer I mean is not an asking for something, it is rather a withdrawing into one's inner silence, where the influence of senses and thoughts, through practice, become weaker and weaker ...
here is some more, for those inclined:
Let's continue with the trains from my brief but productive morning along the legendary former Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad. I've already shared a shot from Neabsco and trains 1, 2 and 8 that I shot here crossing Powells Creek at MP 84.7 on modern day CSXT's exceptionally busy RF&P sub.
Here is the third train we lensed here, and probably my favorite shot of the nine. This is CSXT train I032 a high priority intermodal running from Jacksonville, FL to North Bergen, NJ. The 1x1 DPU configured train is solid single stacks and TOFC due to the clearance restriction in Baltimore's Howard Street tunnel.

Continuing with the theme of the photogenic Tufted Titmouse, here it is coming in for a soft landing. It is so quick that I see I'm going to have to up my SS a bit more if I want to completely stop action.
We continue to pray for those who are in Florida as this very dangerous storm moves across the state. My SL wife, Suzzie and one of our dear friends, MIssy, live along the east coast of Florida and are still in the path of this storm!
The Heald woods, on the western shore of Lake Windermere. I am keeping a promise to do more low level walks after completing the munro’s. We arrived just in time to catch the early morning sunlight breaking through
The Minster was undergoing significant works during our visit. Thankfully, this side entrance which protrudes out from the main building was not only pristine but also strongly lit. Very thoughtful of them.
Wisley continues. Sligtly ligtehed up and cropped. With warm wishes for all vvisitors and HUGE 'Thank You"s for all comments!
And here is a link to the same plant's photo taken on the same day but by a better photographer! ;-)

On February 5, 2021we had another soft snowfall that came down as a beautiful, white, fluffy snow. Since I had my Canon at home I felt fortunate to be able to photograph nature at its finest, up close and personal in the woods and hillside behind my home.

Continuing with the Purple Sandpiper theme from the outing the other day.
I recently purchased the Canon R5, this is from the first outing with my new toy. A notable difference from the 7D mkii. I have it set up with the dual back button focus, ie tracking and spot focus. I did find the buttons difficult to navigate on the back of the camera. Im sure in time it will become second nature. The eye tracking is quite amazing, it did an amazing job even when birds were in a busy environment. I had it set to the faster electronic of the two shutter options, ill try mechanical next time as I feel it was a bit too fast for this situation. I came away with a large no of images.....trigger happy Gregg :)
I don't seem to be able to view the images on DPP. I would look through all the images from the 7D and quickly sort through rating then deleting etc choosing the best. I could view them on a picture viewer on the computer (I think some microsoft thing, however not much good for sorting) had to view through Lightroom, not sure as I have never tried to view and delete on there. I know when I load images on to LR, I delete them off there, however they stay on the computer. Im sure I should be able to set it up?
This image was taken on the Brigg at Filey, It was a really foggy morning so didn't get stated till 10.30, I got lucky with the Purple Sands as it was then busy with visitors. I found a rocky area just from the main path down the middle.

Continuing with the current ‘In Flight’ Dragonflies Theme, this one from last year is my all time favourite.
This Image was captured on the Atherton Tablelands North Queensland..
A lot of fun to watch the sky explode in color and to move around there in the field of leaves to capture that sunlight and color from the sky to the leaves. Fall splendor here in Maryland.

Continuing the aerial series of Tasrail, to-day we see train 2-32 climbing steadily up towards Rhyndaston with TR units TR12 + TR17. The line here crosses Rhyndaston Road as the line heads uphill towards the tunnel. The journey has never been easier with the new Caterpillar units seemingly doing it effortlessly without all the huff, puff and noise of the older units that previously plied this line. This is good news for Tasrail but sad for us that remember the diversity and excitement of the older units.

If it weren't for 12-spotted's! Gee, there just aren't any odes flying. It's hot & dry right now - but too late to save most summer dragons and too hot for Fall species to come out of the shade. This guy is actually by himself ... leaves one of our sticks to chase an occasional whitetail or green darner. A stunning Comet darner flew by the other day - haven't seen him since. And we've seen the first Shadow darner but he wouldn't perch.
Sorry it's been so hectic here - I was at a derm. surgeon yesterday having a skin cancer removed - they told us to plan on being there a good 4 (!) hours. Fortunately it didn't take that long - thanks once again for several good friends that prayed & sent me notes - so appreciated.

…or where the fire meets the houses. The CalWood fire reaches the base of the mountains after a downhill/ downwind sprint (see previous post for more thorough description). With minimal warning, all residents of houses in the potential path of the fire were able to evacuate, some with harrowing stories of driving vehicles past exploding trees. Sadly 26 homes were lost to the fire, though it could have been far worse. The fire hit the boundary with the former Overland fire (2003, on the left in the photo) with a loss of fuel (trees) and began to slow down significantly. Flames are faintly visible in the lower center of the picture burning through grass. The fire continued to burn slowly toward the south for a few days, but has been largely contained and will probably be extinguished by 2 cold fronts coming through the area in the next 4 days. The brownish color of the clouds is real and is the result of the ash emitted by the burning vegetation. Cumulus clouds of water droplets are visible in the back, partially obscured by smoke from different fires to the west (left).

Ten minutes later yielded the arrival of NS 34J with a Conrail SD40-2 leading.
Yep, it happend in 2010! Conrail has been gone for over ten years, and shooting a Conrail SD40-2 on the point is still possible in Chicago.

So, let's continue with what I started at the end of last year. Maybe you remember. I showed you a photo of this landscape from Děčín in Bohemian Switzerland and promised to go into the details again later.
The next element in this series would be this impressive building, which can be seen down there under a dramatic winter sky, the Tetschner Castle.
As early as 1128, a fortification was mentioned at this point that served to control shipping traffic on the Elbe (that was almost 1000 years ago, unimaginable). In the 16th century, after various other building projects, the Baroque palace that can be visited today was built.
In the 19th century, the castle gained some fame when the then well-known composer Frédéric Chopin stayed here for five days and even composed a waltz here, which is still known today as the "Tetschner Waltz".
Even though the building looks more like a fortress from a distance, the baroque influence inside is unmistakable. For example, the inner courtyard houses a quite impressive rose garden.
So, dann fahren wir mal damit fort, was ich am Ende des letzten Jahres begonnen hatte. Vielleicht erinnert Ihr Euch. Ich hatte Euch eine Aufnahme dieser Landschaft von Děčín in der Böhmischen Schweiz gezeigt und versprochen, auf die Details später noch einmal einzugehen.
Das nächste Element in dieser Reihe währe dann dieses beeindruckende Gebäude, welches dort unten, unter einem dramatischen Winterhimmel zu sehen ist, das Tetschner Schloss.
Bereits 1128 wird an dieser Stelle eine Befestigung erwähnt die dazu diente den Schiffsverkehr auf der Elbe zu kontrollieren (das ist fast 1000 Jahr her, unvorstellbar). Im 16. Jahrundert entstand dann, nach verschiedenen anderen Baumaßahmen das heute zu besichtigende Barockschloß.
Im 19. Jahrundert erlangte das Schlöß einige Berühmtheit, als der damals schon recht bekannte Komponist Frédéric Chopin für fünf Tage hier verweilte und hier sogar einen Walzer Komponierte, der noch heute als der "Tetschner Walzer" bekannt ist.
Auch wenn das Gebäude von weitem eher wie eine Festung aussieht, so ist der barocke Einfluß im Inneren unverkennbar. So beherbergt der Innehof zum Beispiel einen recht beeindruckenden Rosengarten.
